I have been sewing since high school, but like many of us, life gets in the way! After retiring more than five years ago as an RN, I got back into sewing. I sew for myself and my granddaughters. Join me in my sewing journey as I learn new techniques and have fun along the way!

@@sewlovelywithgrace Thanks, Grace! 🛳️🌴
Looks like you have a great wardrobe to wear. Sounds exciting! Prayers for your travels and comfort. Can't wait to see your pictures when you get back🤗🤗🤗
@@sewndebisdream6953 Thanks, Debi! 🌴
Have a wonderful time. Let us know how the food is at the luau.
@@robinnehls8057 Thanks, Robin! Will do! 🌴
Such a super cute wardrobe, hope you guys have the best time ever!!!❤❤🎉🎉🎉
@@kathyjohnston4337 Thanks so much, Kathy! 🌴
@ 😁♥️🎉
I actually prefer to check a bag and just have a personal item to take on the plane. No jockeying for overhead space and no dragging a carryon around if you have a connection. I hope you're having the best time on your cruise and look forward to hearing all about it on your return.
@@lizkay4282 Thanks, Liz! I look forward to sharing my trip with you! 🌴
You have some great outfits! I’d love to see a video when you get back of what you actually wore. I planned to do that when Adam and I went to Europe on October but it turns out I’m a terrible UA-camr and barely even took pictures of my outfits 🤦🏻♀️ We also did checked baggage (it’s free for international so why not?) and I’m really glad we did. It was nice not to have to cram a bunch of stuff into a little suitcase and then have to keep track of it during layovers and everything. I hope you are having a fabulous time!
@@ErinSews Thanks, Erin! I’m looking forward to seeing your vacation pictures! 🌴
Great choices! Have a great time, Nancy.
@@donnabrown0130 Thanks, Donna! 🌴
A lot of beautiful me made garments! Have a great time!❤

Souvenirs can be mailed back to your home and not take up valuable cargo ;). Must pack SUN SCREEN. Have great fun. Many unexpected blessings.
@@AbigVoss Thank you! We are having fun in spite of the rain all day today! 🌴
I can think of one more thing you could take...ME!! Have fun!
I was thinking the same thing😂
@@lgcb1295 I wish you could be here too, Linda! 🌴
Hi Nancy. I love your classic tees. I haven’t made it but have the pattern ready to go! I love both of yours but, the gray one looks amazing. I had a piece of fabric that came from a stash of old stuff and it was like a polo shirt fabric in a tube. That’s the only time I personally have seen any like it. I’m not sure if maybe it just hadn’t been cut apart or if you can still find fabric like that. Keep us posted if you find out. The pumpkin is awesome! I love it! 🍓Have a great week! ❤ Diann
@@Silver_Threads_Sewing Thank you, Diann! It’s a great pattern! ❤️🥰
I think I need that T-shirt pattern, so versatile!😊 Thanks for sharing! 💕
@@thesouthernseamstress You’re welcome, Lisa! It’s a good pattern! ❤️🥰
You should consider doing a tutorial for the twin needle
@@lgcb1295 I may do that when I return! 👍
Love the t-shirt! I like how it fits on the hips, not too tight. What size did you make? I wonder how it would do made longer into a dress 🤔I may have to try it. I love the polka dots.
@@lgcb1295 I made it in Large. The instructions have you measure your high bust. I will be making more! ❤️🥰
Hi Nancy! I enjoy your videos. The Love Notions Classic Tee is my go-to tee pattern. I've made several of their patterns because the instructions are excellent and they fit me well. Your tee is lovely. Thank you for sharing your sewing makes!
@@MissusH575 Thanks so much! I will be making more! ❤️🥰
I just love your T-shirt and the fabric is beautiful!
@@mimicope3404 Thanks so much, Mimi! ❤️🥰
YOU ARE SUPER DUPER AWESOME GIRL!!! I LOVE BOTH !!! ❤😁🎉🎉🎉🥳♥️
@@kathyjohnston4337 Aw, Kathy! You are too sweet! 🥰🥰 Thank you!!
@ 😁🎉🎉♥️♥️🥰
Yes, it's a great pattern. I've made it (checks spreadsheet) 11 times, and a few were for my mom at her request.
@@marysews1 Wow, Mary! This really is your T&T pattern! I will be making more! It’s fast and easy! And I like putting the sleeves in flat. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend! 🥰❤️
Hi Nancy, love the T-shirts, the Fabric of the Blue one I think came from Jo-Ann's. I have the same fabric, and Grace of (Sew Lovely with Grace ) YT was wearing the same fabric today. 11/1/24. You might like the LN Breckenridge Henley I made one today for my Daughter. I do love that Pattern Company. Also Karina from ( Lifting Pins and Needles) YT has a great tutorial on the neckline of that pattern. Also do you have the Rhapsody Blouse? That is another favorite top!☺️
I probably did buy that fabric from Joann's and forgot! I have the Rhapsody blouse pattern in my computer, but have yet to sew it. I will look into the Henley pattern! You can't have too many tops! Thanks for watching and commenting, Ely! 🥰
I am also in love with the Love Notions pattern. It’s just a nice straightforward sew, fits beautifully and always turns out well.Your grey one looks really nice on you Nancy and will go with so many things. I also really like the top you’re wearing. Those PJs are going to look really cute. Thanks for another nice video Nancy. Have a really good week 😊x
@@shellyscott8275 Thank you, Shelly! I will be making more! ❤️🥰
Hi Nancy, thank you for the shout out! You got the Classic Tee bug now, and you will be addicted to it just like I am🤣🤣🤣🤣. The gray tee looks so soft and comfy 🙌🏻. What happened to your original video from last night? Did you get a copy right strike? I watched and added a comment, but I don’t see my original comment anymore. Anyway, I am just curious 🥴🥴. It’s vacation count down for you !!! 🏖️🏖️🌊🌊☀️☀️ Have a wonderful weekend 💖💖💖
@@kgflcreations No , I took it down because I embarrassed my grandson! Even though his face couldn’t be seen, he wasn’t crazy about his dance being forever on UA-cam! I actually gave the gray tee to my daughter. Now I will have to find similar fabric to make me one! Have a good weekend , Karen! 😀
The pj's are adorable, especially the top with the yoke. I love Fabric Mart fabric and just got an order with them. Is Love Notions a PDF? and do you know if I could get it printed at Office Depot? Have wonderful trip.
@@robinnehls8057 They are all digital downloads. And yes, they can be printed at a copy shop. They also have them for projectors. I don’t mind taping patterns together. I will definitely get another Mystery Bundle from Fabric Mart. It’s fun to be surprised! Thanks for watching, Robin! 🥰❤️
The neck is too low, I’d have to adjust it higher
@@Sally-ih6ls That’s the beauty of sewing! Adjustments can be made to your personal specifications! Thanks for watching, Sally! ❤️🥰
@ absolutely, however, I do like the fit on you, I will be giving it a try, thank you!
Hi Nancy! Happy Friday! I have that pattern, the classic tee, and mine sat in my phone for over a year! I need to print it up and make it. Your tops look very pretty.❤ I think the classic T has been at $5 for a while!
@@ZeldaSews Go for it, Zelda! You can’t go wrong! 🥰❤️
OMG Nancy! I have that EXACT blue polka dot knit fabric on in my video TODAY!! 🤣It's beautiful, isn't it? The grey brushed sweater knit top is beautiful also. I love it! Indeed cozy. Cute PJs fabric. I love the red fabric too. That red pumpkin looks exactly like a tomato pin cushion. YES! Pokey Man is hilarious. Great job! Enjoy your trip Nancy! 🥰💝💝
I can't wait to see it!
@@sewlovelywithgrace Thanks, Grace! I gave my daughter the gray top. Now I have to make me another! And I can’t seem to find that same fabric! 😥
The classic Tee is a tried and true classic pattern for me😊
@@stephaniecruz8260 Stephanie, I believe it will be a T&T for me as well! 🥰🥰
Your t-shirt fits you very well. The grey long sleeve is elegant!
@@AbigVoss Thank you! I gave the long sleeved one to my daughter! Now I need to find fabric to make one for myself! I will definitely be making more! 👍❤️
Hi Nancy! Nice PJ's. The pants are pink! And so cute😊. I like the wide elastic band on the red shorts. Beautiful garments❤
@@donnabrown0130Thanks, Donna! ❤️🥰
I as anxious to see your shorts and I love them! Now I need to get that pattern and go for it. What are you wearing? I think I have that pattern. Yours is very nice and fits you well.
@@susandt3856 Thank you, Susan! The dress was made from Simplicity 8194. I used fabric I found at an estate sale! It’s one of my favorites! 🥰❤️
Hi Nancy, I love the pajamas 🙌🏻, the fabric is adorable. Now you are ready for your Hawaiian vacation! The cover up is beautiful, and the shorts are perfect for a relaxing vacation 👏👏. Thank you for sharing your makes 💖💖
@@kgflcreations Thanks, Karen. I’m ready to go! We went to Oahu in 2011. This time we will be on a cruise ship and will see four islands! 🌴
@@RunningWithScissors-th8jo how nice 👍, I know you will have a wonderful time 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Cute pjs and shorts! You're going to look great on the beach!

The swimsuit coverup is very pretty. What a lucky grand daughter. I look forward to learning about your trip. Aloha😊
@@skirt1955 Aloha! 🌴 Thanks for watching! 🥰
Adorable PJs! Love the yoke. I like how you sewed the elastic on the red shorts. I'll have to try that. I love the black/white ones too. I roll my clothes when I pack a suitcase. Wow! That coverup is very pretty! ❤❤💝💝The birthday cake is AMAZING!! 4 layers!!! 🎂🥮
@@sewlovelywithgrace Thank you you so much, Grace! I will feel so glamorous in my fancy caftan! 🥰❤️

@@ZeldaSews It was! 🎂😋
Hello Nancy! My granddaughter and I are here watching your video!❤❤❤
@@ZeldaSews Tell her Hi for me! ❤️
@@RunningWithScissors-th8jo I did!💖
Cute pj’s!!😊 love the cover up!
@@jmj622 Thanks! I Will feel so glamorous in the cover up! 🥰❤️
Great shorts and swimsuit coverup. The cover up could do double duty as a topper over other items ... a solid coloured knit dress, like a tshirt dress, or even just over jeans and a tshirt. Sometimes you need a topper in restaurants if they've got the air con going full blast.
@@lizkay4282 Thanks, Liz! Good idea! 🥰❤️
😁😁😁
Thanks, Kathy! Have a nice weekend! 🥰❤️
@@RunningWithScissors-th8jo ♥️♥️♥️
I LOVE YOUR RUFFLE♥️, YOU DID SUCH A GREAT JOB!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
@@kathyjohnston4337 Kathy, you’re sweet! 😜🥰 I wasn’t afraid to beg for compliments! LOL! 👗👍
@@RunningWithScissors-th8jo HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Oh Nancy your dress is really beautiful 😊 and worth all the hard work you put into making it. The frill looks really, really good too. Well done 👌👏👏👏 The Tilly and the Buttons Indigo dress uses that type of frill too and think her instructions are probably clearer than the pattern you used. Anyway, hey ho, you did it and did it well. I can’t wait to see the pics of you and your husband wearing your matching outfits at the Luau 😊xx
@@shellyscott8275 Thanks, Shelly! Yes, the instructions were not good! I had to pretty much figure it out by myself! I do like the end result, but is was a tad stressful! 😳. I can’t wait to wear it! 🥰❤️
@@RunningWithScissors-th8jo Well the fact that you had to work it out for yourself is the best win of all. You deserve all the praise and you can give yourself a little internal hug when everyone admires it 🤗 Clever gal 😊 xx
Wow! What a beautiful dress. It is perfect to me. I would love to see the shorts you make. I’m trying to get my nerves up to make pants and shorts.
@@susandt3856 I made two pairs over the weekend from Simplicity 1165. They have elastic in the waist. I find those are the easiest to fit. I’ll be sharing them this week. Thanks for watching, Susan! 🥰❤️
Beautiful dress! No stuffing with toilet paper!😅😅😅 The ruffle is beautiful! You did do a great job with it! I love ruffles!
@@ZeldaSews Thanks, Zelda! I can’t wait to wear it! 🥰❤️
That ruffle is amazing! I would have taken the easy road too and done the normal ruffle, but that looks really good and so professional. It was worth the extra time and effort
@@LizH-fs3ky Thanks, Liz! It was a struggle, but worth it in the end! 🥰❤️
I am so proud of you! I tried making the dress this summer. Key word being TRIED. That bodice kicked my a$$! I ended up throwing it in the garbage with many foul words. I salvaged the skirt section and added a simple bodice with the side zip. I see the pattern in my collection from time to time and am still "mad at it"! LOL Your dress is lovely. I look forward to seeing the photos of your trip. Have a tremendous time! Oh, this pattern is the only one I've ever let kick my a$$.
@@leannwhite620 Leann, I am so sorry you had such a rough time with this pattern! (I have to admit your post made me laugh out loud! I had to share it with my husband!). All I can say is, I go slow and take my time. I read and reread the instructions until I can “see it”. I also check UA-cam to see if anyone did a tutorial that might help. Another viewer commented that maybe I could have left out the zipper and slipped it on over my head. I tried it and I was able to! I do have patterns that I’m “mad at”. They have been donated to a nearby thrift store! 😂 Thanks for watching! Have a good weekend! 🥰❤️
Yes Nancy, Sometimes the line drawings on the envelope are hard to read. I COMPLETELY agree that they should have a photo of the back when it's a design element. I thought it was shirring too. They should also label it as Advanced. I made an invisible side zipper on a Butterick B6731 top and I absolutely love it. Your dress is STUNNING!! Wow. I love it. For the bra part, I use silicone but covers that I get them on Amazon. That ruffle was worth it for sure Nancy!!! It came out GREAT!!! Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! 💝💝♥♥❤ I use Steam A Seam and sometimes double-sided tape. ENJOY your trip! You guys are going to look so cute together!! WOW!! 🥰🥰
@@sewlovelywithgrace Aw, thanks, Grace! Hmm, if the pattern was listed as “Advanced”, I may not have tried it! 😆 I ordered bra pads that are sticky on both sides from Amazon. They’re coming today. Hopefully they will be what I need! (I don’t have your figure!). Have a good weekend! 🥰❤️
@@RunningWithScissors-th8jo 🥰😘
It's really pretty Nancy
@@mskllsws104 Thanks, Karen! 🥰❤️
Hi Nancy, I absolutely love your dress. You will have lots of fun on your vacation, and you two will look great too🙌🏻🙌🏻. Thank you for sharing your problems with the gathering portion of the dress. Enjoy your vacation!!❤️
Thanks, Karen! I'm getting pretty excited about the trip! 🥰
Hi Nancy, I can’t wait to see your dress! I’m so glad you stuck with the ruffle, it really made the dress and it turned out beautifully. I have that pattern and have not made it up yet but I will next summer. I have a few ideas if you try the ruffle again. Have you heard about using dental floss for gathering? I tried it for the first time the other day and it does make gathering so much easier in my opinion (I will never use double rows of thread again). I would also suggest using double sided tape to tape down the ruffle (or the steam tape you mentioned) to hold it in place once you get the ruffle where you want it. I drew a line on my skirt with a heat erasable marker where I wanted the top of the ruffle to be on my skirt and taped it down so it would not slide while I sewed it.
@@sheilapagliaccio9086 Thanks, Sheila, those are all great ideas! Why I didn’t use the Steam tape to hold down the ruffle is a mystery to me! 🤦 LOL! How do you use the dental floss? Do you zigzag over the floss and then pull it to gather? Thanks for watching and for the suggestions! 🥰❤️
Nancy, Your dress turned out so adorable. The ruffle added the perfect amount of cuteness! Bet it is great for twirling! Can’t wait to hear about your trip.
@@emma544s8 Thanks, Bonnie! I’m looking forward to wearing it! 🥰
